    What sort of 32' digital voice was added to the St. Benedict organ? Why would anyone add a 32' stop to a moderately small organ without sufficient tonal foundation to support it musically? Is it a 32' contrebombarde or 32' contrabourdon? As I recall from having played and practiced at the St. Benedict's organ years ago, the Pedal division only had an 8' Principal as its foundation stop, one 16' Posaune, and an 8' Pedal trumpet (extension of 12 pipes up from the Posaune). A second 61 pipe 8' Swell Trumpet could be coupled to the pedal, and a 16' "prepared for" Swell Dulzian (never completed). If a 32' contra bombarde voice (electronic or pipe) were to be added, there should at least be a 16' Principal, and additional 16' 8' 4' reeds added to support it, otherwise it is not likely to sound as it should for lack of sufficient foundation on which to build the ensemble. Most 32' Contre bombardes are found in pipe organs of 45+ ranks in size. Most of those have a pedal ensemble consisting of at least 16' 8' Principal, 16' Bourdon, two 16', two 8' and two 4' reeds and mixture of 3-5 ranks. That would be way too much pedal for the size of the Schlicker organ at St. Benedict's Church. It seems that Herman Schlicker's design, which includes 16' Posaune, 8' Trumpet v. 8' Principal, 16' Bourdon and III mixture with couplerable 8' Swell Trumpet is just enough to achieve tonal balance with the remaining three divisions of that organ.

    When you were walking up the stairs and got to the “fan room” what were those for? HVAC or was that for the organ?

    • @stbenedictsamherst
      @stbenedictsamherst Рік тому

      Most of it was HVAC. Components for the organ are located in a different part that's closer to the organ pipes.

    Hello. I'm curious how much the system cost and did it include installation? Was the tall stack of electronics to the left of the controller part of the system also. I looking for a new system for the church I belong too. Thanks

    • @stbenedictsamherst
      @stbenedictsamherst Рік тому

      Sorry for the delay! Easiest way to get a price would be to contact the Verdin Company directly: www.verdin.com/ They offer several different systems and total pricing for installation also depends on any additional electrical work you may need done (running wires, installing outlets, etc). The rack next to the controller is our sound system - so not linked with the bell system at all.

    I can't believe my sister Rose sent me the link to St Benedicts. I am 75 and when I was in Kindergarden, our teacher, Sr Rosalita, showed us this underground space. What a memory to watch the church being built. Masses, while they were building, were in the School Auditorium (if it is still the auditorium?). I now live in Oregon. Thanks you for your website and you tube videos. I will have to watch Mass! God Bless you all.

  • @kathleensieracki8501
    @kathleensieracki8501 2 роки тому

    FYI, a little background information: The figures were originally created for the Canadian Broadcasting Company and then became surplus. Roger and I were attending a convention in Toronto of The Friends of the Crèche, a collectors' group, and the statues were offered there for sale. Fr. Joe had mentioned he was looking for something to replace the plastic statues which had been in use. We told him about them, and he negotiated and made arrangements to purchase them. Getting them over the border was something of an adventure, but nothing like it would be now.
